SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ZUWAYZA! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Biff! Pow! ZUWAYZA watched with
glee as CHAOS KIDS got knocked off top spot by UNDER THE SEA! What's with HANK? He
actually beat BLACK MELEE's BLACK SAFARI, and walked away with 24 more points from
the fight. Laughs were big at UNDER THE SEA while they watched HANK clobber BLACK
SAFARI. It lost 17 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.
ZUWAYZA has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. She Dark Arena
Challenged DARK ARENA's HIGH ELF (0-0-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting.
The crowds were amazed this turn, as HIGH ELF killed the Duelmaster, LUST, leaving
CHAOS KIDS in mourning. So now ENVY gets to be ZUWAYZA's Duelmaster. But what comes
around goes around. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I
hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You
young rapscallions, take note!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. Are you
as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

SUMMER BLOODGAMES 2025
Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena
beginning in August. We also plan our usual Bloodgames arenas at the summer Face-
to-Face.
For those of you who always wanted the chance to manage the last warrior standing
alive upon the arena sands, your day has come. The Bloodgames are coming!
At the end of the ten turns, even though several warriors, bruised and scarred, MAY
yet live, only one will be crowned Champion of the Bloodgames. And in this game mere
survival counts for little. A great general once said, "The object of battle is not
to die for your cause, but to make your enemy die for his." This general would have
greatly enjoyed the Duelmasters Bloodgames. Here are the particulars:
Face-to-Face style Turn 1 is due Fri July 18 at 9pm at the hotel
Bloodgames (DM 98): Turns process with the tournament
Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only
Mail-in style Turn 1 is due Sat July 19 at 9pm at the hotel
Bloodgames (DM 99): All turns process overnight, mail-in style.
No strategy changes; all ten rounds process one
after the other and results will be out Sun morning.
Slow Bloodgames (DM 95): Turn 1 is due Weds August 13
Turns process every 28 days
Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only
Gameplay proceeds according to standard DM rules, except for a few notable exceptions:
BLOODGAMES ROLLUP -- Your Bloodgames team is ten warriors, one of each fighting
style, each warrior designed from scratch! (All are DYOs (design your owns) with 84
points, 3-21, as usual.) To submit your rollup, just write/type them up and send them
in. We'll mail or email your overviews and you can write up your strategies. Your
warriors must be created and have strategies entered by the first due date.
DEATH -- As the name implies, the Bloodgames will leave the arena sands somewhat
darker before they're over. It's a dangerous sport intended only for the tough and
spirited. The Arenamaster will be less likely to intercede on behalf of a dying
warrior. Even at a 1 kill desire, kill attempts will occur.
REPLACEMENTS AND ROLLUPS -- There will be no replacement characters.
CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES -- In the turn-based bloodgames, there are no regular
challenges, only bloodfeuds. There will be no DA challenges in any of the bloodgames
arenas.
TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 95 is due August 1 and will process on a 28-day
schedule. The other two bloodgames arenas will be processed at the summer Face-to-
Face. (Note: there will also be bloodgames at the next winter FTF.)
MISSED TURNS -- All warriors fight each round. Only the dead may rest.
ERRORS -- If we make an input error, that warrior will be awarded a win and kill.
Errors must be reported before the next turn processes.
NEWSLETTER -- Warriors are ranked according to their number of kills. Champions of
Bloodgames may write a column for the newsletter at the end of the games.
FEES -- A Bloodgames rollup costs a $10 set-up fee. Managers may roll up more than
one team but may run only one team in each arena. The fee for all ten rounds is $49.
AWARDS -- The Bloodgames last ten rounds. Only warriors who survive to the end of
Turn 10 will be eligible for an award. However, a consolation award of a Bloodgames
T-shirt will be awarded to the dead warrior with the most kills.
The living warrior with the greatest number of kills will be the Bloodgames Champion.
Bloodgames Victor titles, 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded to those living warriors
with the greatest number of kills at the end of Turn 10, with one other important
consideration: Each of these three warriors must be of a different fighting style.
Win/loss records and, if necessary, recognition points will only be used to determine
awards if there is a tie.
The Bloodgames Champion fights for free in Advanced Duelmasters, and all Champions and
Victors earn Tournament Victor status, which allows them to challenge once per turn
with increased priority. These awards last for six months. The manager of the
Bloodgames Champion and Victors will receive Bloodgames T-shirts.
A Bloodgames T-shirt will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills.T-
shirts will only happen if someone gives us a nice design. One shirt per person.
AFTERMATH -- Warriors from the Bloodgames may not transfer to any other arena. Once
the games are over, the arena and teams will be disbanded. The fighters have won
their freedom and will never more be seen in the gladiatorial games. A special bonus
will, however, be awarded to the 1st through 3rd place warriors. Lady Sheila
Greywand, of the Isle of the Eye, has consented to allow the top three gladiators in
each Bloodgames admission to the Advanced Duelmasters games. Any special training
required to qualify those three warriors for Advanced Duelmasters combat will be
conducted before transfer into ADM. Astute managers will note that this means that
three warriors that are designed from scratch will survive the Bloodgames, win one of
the top three places, and go on to immortal glory! One of those warriors could be
yours!
The challenge is yours to take. The final plans are yours to make.
When the dust settles, remember: To the victor goes the spoils!
